No need for my biography in textbooks: Modi
"Am reading in the news that some states want to include Narendra Modi's life struggles as a part of their school curriculum," tweeted Modi.
"I firmly believe that the life story of living individuals should not be included as a part of the school curriculum," he said.
"India has a rich history of several stalwarts who made India what it is today. Young minds should read about these greats & emulate them," Modi posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Modi's tweets came after reports suggested that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Madhya Pradesh is likely to include a chapter on Modi in school textbooks.
"School textbooks already have chapters on biographies of freedom fighters and even Prime Ministers who have done well. So a biography of Mr Modi in textbooks will inspire students, as he has had a humble beginning as a tea vendor and now he has become the Prime Minister," Madhya Pradesh school education minister Paras Jain had told NDTV.
